The International Booker Prize is a British literary award presented annually to the author and translator of a novel or short story collection translated into Englishand published in the United Kingdom and/or Ireland. It was established in 2005 as the biennial Man Booker International Prize, originally recognizing an author’s lifetime achievement alone, without involving translators. In 2016 it became an annual prize for a single work of fiction in English translation, with the author and translator recognized as equal recipients of the award. After the Man Group’s sponsorship ended in 2019, it was renamed the International Booker Prize. In July 2026 the Booker Prize Foundation announced that it would be renamed the Bukhman International Booker Prize following a ten-year funding agreement with Bukhman Philanthropies. Under the agreement, the winner’s prize increased from £50,000 to £100,000, divided equally between the author and translator.
